Some diners have noted the wait times during peak hours, especially on weekends, where you might find yourself in a bustling environment. While this is a testament to the café's popularity, it can be a drawback for those preferring a quieter meal. Others have pointed out that the diner experience can sometimes be overshadowed by its busy atmosphere, potentially affecting service speed during rush hours. A few guests mentioned that, despite the extensive menu, they would love to see more seasonal or unique specials offered regularly.

Update - They never let me down. Still my favorite restaurant! I love this place, hands down! Fast service. Fresh food. Friendly workers. Very attentive customer service. It's like a little ma and pa joint. If I don't go to Webb City for breakfast, I love coming here!

We stumbled into this little gem while exploring our new surroundings after moving to Missouri from California. We don't always endorse restaurants unless they are really good and this one's really, really good and it's right up there with the very best. We've been a few times and are still running through the menu but just look at our latest meals and it's obvious these folks know what they are doing. Look! The best Biscuits and Gravy you can find. You name it, it's outstanding. It's really just that simple and the staff are the very best of the best. You'll feel right at home your first time in and there's no way you can resist returning. And by the way, these folks make their own pies and they are the BOMB! Check out their lemon Morang some time and I guarantee you, you will leave with a bag full of therm. Do you and your family a huge favor and take them here now! You'll be glad you did.

Great food, wide variety, generous helpings, friendly service! This no frills cafe is always busy, wish is to be expected when you consistently give the people what they want. Come hungry, leave satisfied and without breaking the bank! Their breakfast was especially tasty.

We've been here twice now while visiting my mother from Oklahoma. The service is wonderful and fast. The food is always delicious and my favorites are chicken fried chicken or chicken fried steak. See you the next time we are in town.
